The conference concludes with a weekend festival featuring public presentations of the guest artists' productions and each participant's workshop performance piece. The participants also create their own individual performance pieces guided by the artistic staff. This unique format offers participants a rare opportunity for artistic collaboration, as they participate fully in workshop productions created by the guest artists, thus gaining a special insight into the artist's vision, style and creative process. In addition to the full-time staff, each conference features internationally-renowned puppet artists-in-residence and provides these innovative artists with a nurturing and supportive environment for the creation of new works for the puppet theatre. Under the guidance of our conference staff, participants become collaborative partners, involved in challenging hands-on production experiences. The conference's resident artistic staff is comprised of experienced professionals working in different areas of the puppet arts: direction, design, performance and dramaturgy. The conference focuses on empowering puppet artists to create through the visual imagery and kinetic form of the puppet and enhancing their work through a collaborative dramaturgical process. The mission of the National Puppetry Conference is to be a catalyst for the professional puppet artist's growth and development through both the exploration of performance styles and skills, and the production of new works-in-progress for the puppet theatre.
